The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a cozy, methodical train tycoon with a playful, low-stakes feel, where you lazily expand a tiny empire by shuttling cargo and watching towns grow.

What players say

Players praise the game's cute toy-train aesthetic and relaxing puzzle delivery, but criticize missing tutorial information and bugs that can cause softlocks or crashes. The game is very short (around 5 hours) with no level editor or workshop support, and some note it can feel like one long tutorial.
